Kan’ei-ji (Buddhist temple) was founded in 1625 by “Jigen-Daishi-Tenkai-Daisoujou”. Even though it was the largest temple in its formality and scale, from the Edo period, the extensive site was seized by the Meiji government.

We can still see so many bullet holes from the Boshin War attack throughout the front gate that currently remains. Those holes narrate the hardship of the war.

In 645, Shokai Shonin built a Kannon-do Hall, dedicating a statue of Kanzeon Bosatsu.

This is how the Sensō-ji started.

The site of Sensō-ji, which used to be just a fishing village at a limb of Tokyo Bay, has gradually developed as more and more visitors came to worship service. Since it was designated as a place of prayer of Shogunate by Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu, it widely prospered as the center of Edo-culture. More than 3,000 visitors come to pay their respects every year.

Sengaku-ji was built near the present metropolitan police department, by the Buddhist priest, “Monnansoukan” (a grandson of Yoshimoto Imagawa), designated by Shogun Ieyasu Tokunaga.

This temple is generally famous for having cemeteries of Retainers who took revenge on their master, whose story has handed down. This story based in Edo is famous with the names, Akouroushi or Chushingura.

▼Kanda Shrine

“Kanda Shrine” http://www.kandamyoujin.or.jp/

Kanda Shrine has nearly 1300 years of history. During the Edo period, it was a guardian for the Tokugawa family to Edo folks, being revered as the “Edo Sochinju” (the center place to pray for local gods). People visiting here have great opportunities to feel Japanese tradition or culture, joining various events held monthly or watching ancient-style costumes in the Kanda Shrine. Of course it is full of Edo-culture as well. What’s more? We can be immersed in the mood to worship God, 580 lanterns are lit, with the shrine gates being gracefully and gloriously bright at night.
